 in the background, this has no effect on anything.
 
 I found two keywords the only solution as menus and icons have too
 different transparency values in order to configure them with one
 keyword.  I have  MenuOpacity 245 and IconOpacity 200 in .twmrc.
 
 This one is X.Org-specific as it relies on an extension not provided by
 XFree86.

It makes sense if I extract the iconmanager window entry drawing from
(4)-Appearance patchset and move it to (6)-Improvements; then swap
(4) and (3)-Opacity, so patches (1)...(3) replace bitmap font
rendering with xft including all vertical spacing changes, and these
improvements can be treated as a whole.   So I'll do that.


 [] Concerning xft I believe having read Keith Packard
 sans, serif and mono should be expected included in every xft
 installation, so I chose sans-10 and mono-10 as a replacement for
 variable and fixed in twm.c.
 This is the story to that decision. :-)

 This can be remedied with the use of XListFonts().

 Marc.


I don't quite catch your suggestion, please help, be more specific. :-)


It seems XftFontOpenName() is quite robust, even if I give it '\0'
character as a font name, it returns a quite good replacement.  So the
easiest way would be to rely on the smartness of XftFontOpenName()?

(In fact, I suspect we will never know for sure if our requested font is
really what we get out of XftFontOpenName() in the end, so maybe it
doesn't make much sense to do lots of work in formulating the
fallback/default replacement request?)

Marc Aurele La France [EMAIL PROTECTED] :

 The driver already does this for some chips.  Can you produce a patch to 

 the driver that extends this to other chip revisions?  I have little 
 experience with this driver and no hardware that I could use to test 
such 
 a change.

Oops, I'm not sure to have the experience (and time ...) to do that.
I'm more a sysadmin that a programmer.
865patch is a userland program (used lrmi library) and is written in a
completely different way compared to the i810 driver.
